Unable to trade because of my nationality

[ReiMomo]

Rules are rules, and Binance has a strict requirements if you want to get verified its hard to fight with the rules they created. You can still use Binance by creating a new account and don’t ever verified it though of course some features will not be available to you since you’re not verified and you might be in trouble sooner or later once Binance fully implement KYC. Looking for other exchange can be a good solution, I’m sure some site allows you to trade with them.

This will not make sense if binance knows the country IP address used by the user where it is prohibited.
There's nothing you can do, just stay away from finance and don't cheat forcing your self having an account on bionnace. If your country restricted by them, there are too many exchange platforms that you can choose from. A decentralized exchange is the best for you though the liquidy is quite low at the list you know that your fund isn't a risk situation.

There is one win-win situation. Don't make KYC on Binance at all. As far as I know to open an account on Binance you need only an email address and phone number to secure your account and then you can trade up to 2 BTC per day without requiring KYC verification. You need verification only if you're going to trade more, so just don't trade more or make several accounts.

This is a dangerous move though. If they decide to hold your funds and ask you to verify first before they can release the assets. On top of that, using Binance minus KYC will only limit on to spot trading, withdrawing and depositing only crypto assets. Any other thing OP may want to do like depositing and withdrawing fiat, trading futures etc won't be possible.

It's really annoying if we can't trade on Binance, because the problem of our country of residence is one of the countries that are prohibited by Binance.
But it's Binance's right to do that, because they have their own reasons for making the ban. There is nothing you can do, don't cheat to be able to
use Binance. Because I believe there are still exchanges that accept users from Sudan. All you have to do is try other exchanges one by one, until you
find exchanges that do not ban your country. Keep up the spirit my friends, not being able to trade on Binance is not the end. I believe you can become
a successful trader on other exchanges.

There is one win-win situation. Don't make KYC on Binance at all.

The best he can do is never use exchange that doesn't provide service for his geographical area and that include Binance because they can ask him for KYC at some point and this may make him loose his funds.
The best exchange he can use decentralized exchange site while he does P2P exchange if he need fiat currency.

 

[Yatsan]

It will be a tough one if you are really insisting to trade using Binance for there are really countries that is not in range of this exchange all due because of geographical area that does not support usage into those certain areas included within Binance code for the user interface. But if you do really wanted to continue getting into your trading journey, you can at least seek for other exchange that can help you out unlike Binance that already have nothing to do because of certain restrictions on your nationality. Your trading journey does not end in here just because Binance did not granted your membership because of your nationality. There are still lots of other exchanges out there. Just be sure to pick up the legitimate one.

If you are unable to create a account on Binance exchange due to their block locations in some places you can go with some other exchanges instead of using VPN which is more complex way of trading.You can have a look at other exchanges like most popular one Local Bitcoins which is most common Bitcoin exchange in Sudan with 13,50,000 users.So you can have a look at them.But if you want to try some other exchange you can trade on Kraken which is user friendly or Changelly which accepts payments from 179 countries.If you want to buy Bitcoins check out the list of Bitcoin ATM's available near your location and you can buy from there with cash.There are various other exchanges so why go only with Binance?Its popular exchange we know and deal in various currencies but if you are unable to get access so why waste time on it if you have othe possible options with you.

So I tried registering with binance and I verified my account using my Sudanese passport, and it took half an hour for them to block my account. So I tried contacting customer support just to wait in queue for 7 hours and after finally reaching them, they informed me that my account was locked for good because I am Sudanese and Sudan is not a supported country and they can't help me. I then proceeded to explain that I was born in UAE and that am currently residing in Ukraine, I also told them that I verified my account using a Ukrainian phone number and a Ukrainian email. But they refused saying it doesn't matter where I reside as long as am sudanese they can't provide me service. So I went ahead and read the tos of other big exchanges like coinbase and asked their support, but they also said I can't register due to my nationality. This is very frustrating for someone who was born in UAE and lives in Ukraine, who haven't even been to Sudan to get refused service just because of my nationality. If they denied me service based on my current location I would understand but this is just astonishing. So does anyone have any tips or knows any exchange that may serve me please tell me or feel free to express your opinion about the situation.

Well in that case, rule is a rule that need to follow. There's nothing you can do about it but to accept their policy dude.
Besides, you still have a lot of choices to trade because there other exchange platform that might accept you where you belong.
Have you try Kucoin, Okex, or bithumb?

Not really a win win situation when you cannot deposit or withdraw in fiat. You can only use cryptocurrency balances for trading or any transactions you make. I don't want to take into account a potential change in policy in the future, they can start asking for KYC and then you're screwed.

There are plenty of other exchanges that the OP can possibly use, without having any issues.

[Rexler]

I think this happened because of regulations laws in your country, cuz that seems to be the only reason why Binance would reject your Sudanese, they want to avoid getting sued for letting you trade crypto, instead of waiting around and asking why they blocked you, I think you should just move to another exchange that will accept your sudanese passport, give kucoin exchange a try it's like Binance although in term of volume Binance is bigger.

Well, this is a different case with OP. Op can not even access the site of binance exchange because it was prohibited on their place to use binance.
There is nothing that OP can do is to stay away from binance. It is also not advisable to use a VPN just to bypass the restriction, it is risky for the user once binance will know that you are using PVN. Because it means your IP address was restricted to them and once it is detected there is a chance that the amount you have deposited will perhaps be freeze by them or the worst part you can not able to withdraw. However, you can use different good exchange platforms but not good as binance.

[kawetsriyanto]

You don't need to rely on Binance only. If Binance cannot accept you, just register on other top exchanges. Just search the information about the exchanges that accept your nationality first before you try to register there. I think there are many exchanges that accept Sudanese passports, so don't worry about it. Also, don't you have a local exchange in your country? If there is an exchange there, you prefer to register on your local exchange first.

[jrrsparkles]

But why you have Sudanese passport when you born in UAE? You actually supposed to get the nationality from UAE right?

You can use VPN to access exchange but it has risks when you choose to trade on centralized exchanges. Only option is choosing a DEX where there is no restrictions for anyone to trade.

[CrackingDuck]

I'm Indian and my nationality have never been an issue on my trading experience, but I never use any broker without a VPN because I really care about the anonymity of my transactions. I can tell you that as long the exchange you're going to don't have any kind of KYC(know your costumer) policy you can use a VPN or a proxy from any allowed country and you're 100% safe (if the broker is also 100% legit).

I have been using VPN on PrimeXBT(wich supposedly isn't allowed on USA) almost since this platform's foundation and they never cared about my identity or my location (And I was on a free VPN btw).

I really recommend you to use this platform, to anyone yearning for freedom in trading activities, and actually anyone in general.

I recently purchased the best promo code available for PrimeXBT, and I'm giving it away for free here:https://invitation.codes/@criticalbitcoin/prime-xbt

These guys(PrimeXBT) literally awarded everything last year on ADVFN and Forex so make sure you check this broker out, it can be life-changing. (It was for me )

I did not suggest to use VPN, of course I'm against that. It's something that a previous user recommended. That would be disastrous, he will be caught eventually and banned. OP should just use another exchange, Kraken is quite decent, so is Poloniex and BitFinex. There are plenty of options out there, no need to risk and use illegal methods.

[k@suy]

Rules are rules and we don't have any other choice than to follow it. It may sad and not favor on the side of OP but this is what Binance had made in their regulations. I guess Binance blockchain has a specific and significant reason why there are some nationality that they are prohobited yo join in their blockchain. Still, there are some good altcoins too like Binance that worth to invest with and may give a good return of investment.

Besides, it is not only Binance that existed in the market and there are still numbers of reputable and trusted exchanges that welcome everyone without country restrictions.

Honestly, we can live without Binance and traders must have to find their comfort zone that they don't need to worry if someday they can't withdraw their money because of using a VPN, bypassing the restrictions and any illegalities we do just to fill in inside.

That's it, we don't need to force ourselves then if we are not permitted to do so. There are a lot of options which I think was best.

Although we can participate in other exchanges in the market but the liquidity and chances of making money will be very low when binance is dominating the exchange market, most of the newest or old tokens like to gather here and the number of users is too crowded every day, it's a pity if binance doesn't support some relatively special nationalities. But don't give up hope, if someone falls into this situation, get in touch with support, they can advise us some helpful advice but discouraging the use of VPN software, quite risky and easy to be attacked by hackers

[pankowri]

There are other ways to trade if one's government gives restrictions to use cryptocurrency. But it will not be safe and legal to do that. There is a fact of comfortable and satisfaction cause of uses relaxed or widely. We hope one day BTC will no restrictions and bonding for the users.

[tygeade]

I think trying to do something illegal is one thing, if you want to do it you can go ahead and try it, maybe pay someone from another nation for their information and start something with that and you can test to see if you can trade. Who knows what you can do, I really do not know because there are many ways you could make a profit or lose money. However one thing I am 100% certain is the fact that Binance doesn't have to let you in.

If your nation doesn't allow and let Binance know about this, all Binance can do is ban everyone from that nation. I suggest finding some other place that doesn't care, I am sure there are many places out there who will let you exchange no matter where you are from, hell there are places that doesn't want KYC for under certain bitcoin limit and if you have under certain limit you could just stay under it and keep trading no matter where you are from.

[xeravy]

But why you have Sudanese passport when you born in UAE? You actually supposed to get the nationality from UAE right?

You can use VPN to access exchange but it has risks when you choose to trade on centralized exchanges. Only option is choosing a DEX where there is no restrictions for anyone to trade.

UAE is the strictest country regarding nationality and citizenship. Even though I was born there and lived there for 18 years, I wont get the their passport. I cant even visit my family in the UAE without a visa because I dont have a residence permit. Anyways I found other exchanges and am currently on kraken. Thanks for everyones help.
